<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rideandrepair, post: 12370425, member: 168603&quot;]Perception is reality as they say. I thought the rates were finally what they should always have been myself.&nbsp; Im guessing you had to be competitive and settle for less commission to make any money at all, in other words, actually earning your living. Welcome to an O/O’s world where we actually earn our money. You probably couldn’t hack it. It’s a very hard job. More involved than a keyboard, telephone, and&nbsp; a list of Customers to access. Not to mention the capital invested. I have a lot of skin in the game. On the other hand I could do your Job, very easily. I love booking Loads. It’s fun, actually picking up and delivering a Load in a safe timely manner is real work, involving more than an app. I seriously doubt you’re an Independent Broker. If you were you’d know the value of a single O/O like myself.&nbsp;&nbsp; One call does it all. I’m your eyes and ears in the field. I specialize in diffusing difficult situations. I make it happen. If my Truck breaks down, I’m not waiting on the shoulder for the Repair Ferry to arrive. I’m wrenching on it, and still making the trip. If I oversleep, and am late, I’ll tell you that’s what happened and why. Usually because it took 8 hrs to load your crappy freight, like it always does, you already knew that, but forgot to mention it.&nbsp; Are you? I doubt it, you have to follow policies made by higher ups 1000 miles away. Because without a set of rules, policies to follow, you couldn’t function. That’s the problem with so many Industries these days. The Corporations have everything figured out. All anyone has to do is follow the program. That’s why no one will dare make a decision on they’re own. They can’t, they have to follow policy. Yes, too much reliance on Technology. It’s breeding a whole industry of Lazy Workers. Whether it’s a Brokers Agent too Lazy to check references, instead relying on an app. like Carrier 411. Then they wonder why their freights not taken care of. I used the app. I’m covered, can’t blame Me!!! It’s a joke. You’re a joke. In the big scheme of things, no where near as important as you seem to believe. There’s literally thousands of Brokers. A negative Freightguard report on average can have an effect of approximately 20% loss in Business for a Single O/O like myself. I’ll gladly take that voluntarily. Please don’t refer to me as Y’all, Dude, or Bro either. Be a Professional at whatever you do, or end up doing later in life, once Brokers Agents become obsolete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
